No word yet from passport office on that found passport from yesterday. They said they would update us if anyone claimed it or if it proved to be a 'fake'. Nice. Will have to check back with them in a week or so.

Hey...I remember my dad buying oat hay bales from a door to door salesman. The guy just drove up and convinced my dad to buy some at a 'good price'. So dad ordered 2. Told the guy no one would be home so just stack them in the garage. We came home to 2 TONS of hay bales in the garage. Guess the guy got it wrong. Amazingly good price though. Very fun summer playing with all that hay. Made forts and tunnels and all sorts of constructions. Lasted our 2 horses forever. Wow.

Off to see the sidewalk progress one street up. They should have to all the way to our corner by now. Then the other side (one block long) and it's done. Then the street redoing of asphalt, etc. THEN they start on the side street directly across from my house. Will be a mess. Too many cars parked every which way on the street, and they will have to move 'somewhere'. I figure right in front of my house for several months. Ugh. Hope it goes smoothly.

Already seeing some cars on the curb nearby with 'for sale' signs on them. It's a no no for our area but they do it anyway. AND the 2 guys who have motor homes and park around here and live in them (also a no no) are moving a bit. Guess the city finally figured it out and made them move. All they do is get a citation and a 'move or get towed' notice. So they move for one day and then right back to where they were. City ignores them for months and months. Then it all starts again. Stupid. The big one (20 ft) parked in front of my house, then my neighbor's and we stuck a note on it to move it. They have to anyway. No on street motor home parking allowed at all, no big trucks, etc. So now when those 2 streets get paved and sidewalks, those illegal parkers of all kinds of stuff (cement mixers, work vehicles, etc.) will have to find somewhere else. After the 'improvements' the city does a thorough enforcement sweep. Brings in a few guys and a tow truck and everything gets moved away. Too bad they don't do it on a regular basis.

Hi Ana, Nan and all. Nothing much in the neighborhood except the sidewalks up the street are doing great. Only a few more weeks and it should be all done. They are still doing 'little' things on the street nearest me. Looks like construction will start this week or next. Parking will be awful, I can guarantee it.

Walk was good. Very short because my friend suggested going to see 'Looper'. Good movie, very very interesting, not too much gore, just a bit of nudity and a good plot. Won't tell ya anything, because it's really different. Whooooo.

Prayers appreciated for my 82 year old neighbor lady (and partner in crime) they think she is starting macular degeneration in her right eye. She just noticed 2 days ago that she has no vision over 3/4 of the eye. Awful scary. I'm trying to keep her upbeat.

Darlene one of the characters in NCIS tonight was Midge. How about that!

This is a good morning, good afternoon and good night from me. Been busy working and trying to connect with my Mom, no luck. She's never in her room. I want to go see her tomorrow on my day off but I have to talk to her first. I'll call her in the morning. Nan can I borrow your band for tomorrow?Night all. Until we meet again

Ahhh Back from Bible Study. The first time I've been in a month. It was good to go again.

Ana, the books are indeed cooked but the laundry still abides. Will whittle that down tomorrow. Son was using the washer today. I love the front-loader but the cycles are really long. And now that I know the Per had ringworm,everything is being washed on sanitary which is a super long cycle.

Time for bed. I have a new Sookie book. Sleep well all
